Best remembered for shaking up MLB with a $126-million deal, Jayson Werth invested in race horses two years ago and improbably has Dornoch in the Kentucky Derby.
Minds were blown when former Dodgers outfielder Jayson Werth agreed to a seven-year, $126-million free-agent contract with the Washington Nationals during the 2010 winter meetings. So much money! So many years! General managers gnashed their teeth. Another example of agent Scott Boras hoodwinking one of their own, they said.
“But this? You know, the hair on the back of your neck stands up. When they’re running, and they’re coming down the front straightaway, there’s so much at stake. ... It’s the only thing I can do where I feel those emotions that I did when I was playing, the competitive juices. You want to win so bad.” Werth's company — Two Eight Racing LLC is a nod to his MLB jersey number 28 — owns 10% of Dornoch, a 20-1 shot to win at Churchill Downs.
